i tried updating the OS to .109 beta for vodaphone. i downloaded the file, installed it, restarted PC, plugged the BB in, started up the DM, clicked app loader, it came up with lots of things that were to be updated. (this is before i get anywhere near the software version window) so i click ok, and it starts updating it all.
Great, i thought, must be newer version of the OS updating.
so it gets just over half way on the progress bar then stays there for about an hour. The BB has a blank screen at this point. i think somethings hanging, so click cancel, and when that doesnt work, i ctrl+alt+del and end program.
The BB is still doing nothing, and the pc wont recognise its plugged in anymore.
So i pull the battery, and now all i get is a red light flashing, a double flash then a pause, like this: -- -- --

SO.... is it knackered? can i do anything to fix it? Im bummed, ive only had it a few days.

but scratch that, i decided to do the battery pull and plug in quick trick, and even though it wasnt showing the same as the guides, it had the same effect. Its currently installing the software again. Fingers crossed it completes successfully

wtf?
i went away for a while, and when i came back the progress bar had went to nothing. the "load JVM and system software" at the top of the list was ticked - does that mean its finished that task or is it still doing it? if so then it would be waiting for device initialization.... but its been a minute or two at 0 progress...

anyone know anything? I would like to leave it overnight and hopefully come to it in the morning to find it sorted.
